Calling a function attached to an eventListener

[mintyjones]

Hard to name this thread, as it's hard to describe what I'm asking....give it a go anyway.

I have an eventListener listening for mouse events, which will obviously call a function.

The function being called is expecting a mouse event as a parameter (obviously).

Question is, can I call the same function outwith the eventListener i.e. calling it without a mouse event?

you could - by passing null in the function like

myFunction(null);


if your function needs anything that comes from the event target (ie event.currentTarget) however you will not be able to use it.

Noice One!!!!!!!

That's exactly what I'm looking for, and no, the function doesn't require information from the event (luckily).

Thanks for your help!
